3.6Sale of Sublicenses. The Company’s objective is for the Consultant directly, or through the Company’s sales team, to facilitate the sale of up to twenty (20) Sublicense Agreements in the United States to strategic experienced operators with ten (10) Sublicense Agreements sold within eighteen (18) months of the Effective Date, and the sale of the remaining ten (10) Sublicense Agreements within 24 months of the Effective Date. 

(a)The Company, either directly or through a Subsidiary, will use such criteria as it may from time-to-time determine for selecting Sublicensees. 

(b)The Company, through CBD Biotech, Inc., has entered into a CBD Sublicense with Integrity Cannabis Solutions, Inc., for the non-exclusive use of the Licensed Science in the state of Florida. The Company anticipates that it or CBD Biotech will enter into one or more additional non-exclusive Sublicenses with affiliates of Integrity Cannabis Solutions or with other entities--specifically the Ambrose Group, the Mueller Group, and the Baxco Group.  Such Sublicenses with the Integrity Cannabis Solutions, Inc., the Ambrose Group, the Mueller Group and or the Baxco Group are excluded from the ten (10) Sublicense Agreements to be sold by the Consultant within eighteen (18) months of the Effective Date as set forth in Section 3.6 above, so long as such Sublicenses are non-exclusive Sublicenses. 

(c)The Consultant shall hand off all Sublicensee prospects to the Company or its Subsidiary, who shall alone directly engage with each such prospect, determining the prospect’s qualification and suitability, and will negotiate, prepare, approve and execute all Sublicense Agreements containing such terms and conditions as the Company and such Subsidiary may approve. 

(d)For clarification, for purposes of this Section 3.6 and Section 4.2 below, each Sublicense Agreement entered into by a Multi-State Operator or other operator for more than one market (e.g. state, city or other market) will be counted against the 20 Sublicense Agreements under Section 3.6 and 4.2 as if each such market is a separate Sublicense.  By way of example only, if a Multi-State Operator agrees to acquire a Sublicense for the states of Utah, Idaho and Montana, then there would be three Sublicenses and each would count as a separate Sublicense for purposes of the Consultant’s compensation; and also by way of example only, if the Company enters into a Sublicense with an operator for San Diego and Santa Ana, any such Sublicense Agreement(s) would count as two separate Sublicenses for purposes of the Consultant’s compensation. 

3.7Services Related to a Transaction.  The Company desires to explore the potential of completing a Transaction (as defined above) and in furtherance of this objective and to the mutual benefit of the Company and the Consultant, the Consultant may present such opportunities, and if applicable make such introductions to such individuals and entities seeking to pursue a Transaction with the  


Page 8

(b)Except for the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 as a result of the closing of a Transaction, if this Agreement is terminated any time by either Party as provided herein, or the term of this Agreement is not renewed or extended, such termination shall not affect the obligation of the Company to pay the Consultant the compensation identified above for any Sublicense Agreement entered into by the Company, CBD Biotech, or a Subsidiary,  within 18 months after such termination with any party directed or introduced by the Consultant to the Company or through the efforts of the Consultant prior to such termination. 

4.3Potential Acceleration of Warrants upon closing of a Transaction. If during the Term of this Agreement the Company closes a Transaction, and this Agreement is terminated as of the closing of such Transaction as provided in Section 9.2, and at the date of such termination all Warrants have not otherwise vested pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2, then the Consultant’s unvested Warrants shall vest as follows: 

(a)If the Company closes a Transaction with a Transaction Value of less than $1 Billion, there shall be an acceleration of the vesting of the number Warrants equal to ten million (10,000,000) minus the Vested Warrant Shares, as of the closing date of the Transaction. 

(b)If the Company closes a Transaction with a Transaction Value between $1 billion and $2 billion, there shall be an acceleration of the vesting of the number Warrants equal to twenty million (20,000,000) minus the Vested Warrant Shares, as of the closing date of the Transaction. 


Page 10



(c)If Company closes a Transaction with a Transaction Value in excess of $2 billion, there shall be an acceleration of the vesting of the number Warrants equal to thirty million (30,000,000) minus the Vested Warrant Shares, as of the closing date of the Transaction. 

(d)For the purposes of this Agreement “Vested Warrant Shares” shall mean shares that have already been issued to Consultant upon the exercise of a vested warrant plus any shares issuable pursuant to any then vested warrant under Sections 4.1 and 4.2. 

(e)For avoidance of doubt, if the mathematical equation with respect to the determination of the acceleration of the vesting of the number Warrants set forth in subsections 4.3(a) - (c) above is a zero or a negative number, there shall be no acceleration of the vesting of any warrants. 

By way of example, if as of the closing of a Transaction with a Transaction Value of less than $1 billion, there are 16,000,000 Vested Warrant Shares, there shall be no acceleration of any unvested warrants, as 10,000,000 minus 16,000,000 = (6,000,000).

Further by way of example, if as of the closing of a Transaction with a Transaction Value of between $1 billion and $2 billion, there are 16,000,000 Vested Warrant Shares, there would be an acceleration of 4,000,000 warrants, as 20,000,000 minus 16,000,000 = 4,000,000.

(f)Under no circumstances shall the Consultant be entitled to receive vested Warrants under this Agreement to purchase more than 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. 

(g)In the event of the acceleration of the vesting of any warrants, any such vested warrants shall become fully exercisable upon the closing of a Transaction and will be treated in the same fashion and receive the same consideration, applicable to any shareholder and/or the holders of any options or warrants, in such Transaction. 

(h)If this Agreement is terminated any time by either Party as provided herein, or the term of this Agreement is not renewed or extended, such termination shall not affect the acceleration of the vesting of the number Warrants set forth in subsections 4.3(a)-(c) above as to a Transaction which is consummated by Company within 18 months after such termination. 

4.4Terms Applicable to all Warrants. The following terms and conditions shall be applicable to all Warrants (i.e. the Tranche 1 Warrant and Tranche 2 Warrant) issued by the Company to the Consultant under this Agreement: 

(a)All warrants will be on the same form of warrant attached as Exhibit A

(b)All warrants will contain a Cashless Warrant Exercise provision as set forth in form of warrant attached as Exhibit A

(c)In the event of termination of this Agreement by the Company or the Consultant pursuant to Section 9.1, vesting of all warrants shall cease upon the date of termination and such vested warrants shall remain exercisable for the term of the warrant; 


Page 11



(d)In the event of death or disability of the Consultant’s POC, Christopher S. Ganan, vesting of all warrants shall cease upon the date of death or disability, and such vested warrants shall remain exercisable for the term of the Warrant, by his estate of assigns; and 

(e)In the event of a consummation of a Transaction and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2, except as provided in Section 4.3, vesting of all warrants shall cease upon the date of closing of such Transaction, and such vested warrants shall remain exercisable for the term of the Warrant. 

4.5Taxes and Other Benefits.  The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be the Consultant’s sole obligation to formally report as its income all compensation received by the Consultant from the Company for the Consultant’s and its employee services. The Consultant agrees indemnify the Company and hold it harmless to the extent of any obligations imposed by law on the Company and pay any taxes on behalf of the Consultant, including but not limited to payroll, FICA and social security withholdings, and unemployment, disability and/or worker’s compensation insurance or similar items in connection with any payments made to the Consultant or its employees. The Consultant shall not be entitled to compensation from the Company except as set forth in this Agreement and in no event shall the Consultant’s employees be entitled to any fringe benefits available to employees of the Company. The Consultant and its employees waive any rights they may have in such fringe benefits even if they are later deemed “common law employees.” 

4.6Accounting Records. The Consultant shall maintain complete and accurate accounting records, to substantiate the Consultant’s charges and expenses and shall retain such records for a period of five (5) years after the last submission of a request for reimbursement. 

4.7Transaction Bonus. If the Company closes a Transaction with a Transaction Value of less than $1.25 Billion, the Company shall pay the Consultant a Transaction Bonus of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

5.Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners: 

(a)Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or 

(b)Cashless Exercise. The Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize cashless exercise, instead of paying the exercise price in cash, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Shares determined as follows: 

A = B [(C-D) / C]

A = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.

B = the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised.

By way of Example,

If:B = 200,000 

C = $12.00

D= $5.10

Then:A = B x (C-D / C ) 

A = 200,000 x ($12 - $5.10 /  $12)

A = 200,000 x ($6.90 / $12)

A = 200,000 x 0.575

A = 115,000 (the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder)

(ii)if the common stock is not quoted on a registered national securities exchange but is regularly quoted in an inter-dealer quotation medium, but selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market Value of common stock shall  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 1 WarrantPage 3 


be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the common stock on the day of determination, as reported by such inter-dealer quotation medium, The Wall Street Journal, or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or

(iii)in the absence of an established market for the common stock of the Company, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board in accordance with generally accepted valuation principles consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 

(d)For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was issued as set forth in Rule 144(3)(x).

The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to affect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. 

(b)Delivery of Shares.  

(i)If the Holder’s exercise is validly made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise as provided in Section 5(b), and such Cashless Exercise is made after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and tacking of the holding period would be permitted under Rule 144, then within seven (7) business days following the date  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 1 WarrantPage 4 


on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice, the Company shall (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such Cashless Exercise to the Holder’s brokerage or balance account with DTC through its Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the Holder, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice,  an Account Statement if said Warrant Shares were issued per the Holder’s instruction via Book Entry, or a certificate, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, reflecting the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, register in the name of the Holder.

(ii)If the Holder’s exercise was not made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise as provided in Section 5(b), or the Holder’s Cashless Exercise is made prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, or the tacking of the holding period would not be permitted under Rule 144, then within ten (10) business days following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, and the receipt of payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (if the Holder’s exercise was not made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise under Section 5(b)), the Company shall cause the transfer agent to issue and deliver to the Holder, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, (x) an Account Statement if said Warrant Shares were issued per the Holder’s instruction via Book Entry, or (y) a certificate, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, reflecting the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, register in the name of the Holder. 

(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case where an exercise of this Warrant is validly made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise as provided in Section (b)(i), the Company’s failure to deliver Warrant Shares to the Holder within ten (10) Business Days of the after the Company’s has received an Exercise Notice and the Company’s receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Warrant.  

(iv)Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s broker or DTC account, or the date of delivery of the certificates or Account Statement evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the transfer of shares to Consultant as promptly as is reasonably possible.   


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 1 WarrantPage 5 


(v)No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. 

(vi)If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 7 and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than ten (10) business days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder  a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10 representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  

(c)Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. If  by the seventh (7th) business day after the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice complying with all the conditions of Section (b)(i), the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section (b)(i), and if after such firth business day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the common stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases common stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. 


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 1 WarrantPage 6

Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant. 

(b)Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 3, the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 1 WarrantPage 7 


such new Warrant which is the same as the Issue Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

10.Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. 

11.Certain Adjustments; Distributions. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination, or re-classification. 

(b)Right to Participate in Distributions.  Provided the Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice and paid the Aggregate Exercise Price (if the Holder’s exercise was not made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise under Section 5(b), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s broker or DTC account, or the date of delivery of the certificates or Account Statement evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the number  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 1 WarrantPage 8 


of shares of Common Stock acquired upon any such completed exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

(c)Transactions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, there is a Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Transaction if the Holder had been, immediately prior to such Transaction, the owner of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of the vested portion  of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Transaction. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Transaction. 

(d)Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 11, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. 

(e)Calculations. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock. 

(f)Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 14, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent. 


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 1 WarrantPage 9 


(g)Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction (but only to the extent such disclosure would not result in the dissemination of material, non-public information to the Holder) at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. 

12.Representations and Warranties of the Company. This Warrant is issued and delivered by the Company and accepted by Holder in reliance on, in addition to the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Consulting Agreement, the following representations, and warranties of the Company: 

(a)The Company has all necessary authority to issue, execute and deliver this Warrant and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Warrant has been duly authorized issued, executed and delivered by the Company and is the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

(b)At all times during the term of this Warrant, the Company shall timely take all necessary corporate actions to ensure that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company upon exercise hereof and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 

13.Representations and Warranties of the Holder. This Warrant is issued and delivered by the Company in reliance on, in addition to the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in the Consulting Agreement, the following representations, and warranties of the Holder: 

(a)Investment Purpose. This Warrant is being acquired by Holder, and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof will be acquired by Holder, for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Holder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration or exemption. 

(b)Accredited Investor. Holder is an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act (“Regulation D”). 


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 1 WarrantPage 10 


(c)Private Issue. The Holder understands (i) that the Warrant Shares are not registered under the 1933 Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant will be exempt from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 13. 

(d)Financial Risk. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and the Warrant Shares and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment. 

(e)No Need for Liquidity. The Holder is aware that he will be unable to liquidate his or her investment readily in case of an emergency and that the Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may have to be held for an indefinite period of time. The Holder’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Holder’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Warrant Shares will not cause such commitment to become excessive. In view of such facts, the Holder acknowledges that the Holder is able to bear the economic risk of this investment. 

(f)No Regulatory Approval of Merits. The Holder understands that neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor the commissioner or department of securities or attorney general of any state has passed upon the merits or qualifications of, nor recommended nor approved, the Warrant Shares. 

(g)Independent Advice. The Holder understands that the Holder is encouraged to seek independent advice from Holder’s professional advisors relating to the suitability for the Holder of an investment in the Company in view of the Holder’s overall financial needs and with respect to the legal and tax implications of such an investment. Holder has done its own investigation and is not relying upon any statements of the Company. 

(h)Opportunity to Investigate. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder’s advisors and the Holder have had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction, and the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company. The Holder’s advisors and the Holder have also had the opportunity to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of information furnished about the Company. Accordingly, the Holder has independently evaluated the risks of purchasing the Warrant Shares, and the Holder is satisfied that the Holder has received information with respect to all matters which the Holder considers material to the Holder’s decision to make the investment in the Company and the Warrant Shares. 

(i)Authority and Non-contravention. The execution and performance hereof violates no order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Holder is a party or by which the Holder is bound. If an organization, (i) the Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 1 WarrantPage 11 


which it has been formed; and (ii) the Holder has the right and power under its organizational instruments to execute, deliver and perform its obligations hereunder.

14.Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Warrant shall be in writing delivered to the parties at the mailing address, or regularly monitored electronic email address of the respective party set forth below.

5.Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners: 

(a)Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or 

(b)Cashless Exercise. The Holder may notify the Company in an Exercise Notice of its election to utilize cashless exercise, instead of paying the exercise price in cash, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Shares determined as follows: 

A = B [(C-D) / C]

where:

A = the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder.

B = the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised.

C = the Fair Market Value (“FMV”) price of the Common Stock on the day immediately prior to (but not including) the Date of Exercise.

D = the Exercise Price.

By way of Example,

If:B = 200,000 

C = $12.00

D= $5.10

Then:A = B x (C-D / C ) 

A = 200,000 x ($12 - $5.10 /  $12)

A = 200,000 x ($6.90 / $12)

A = 200,000 x 0.575

A = 115,000 (the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder)


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 2 WarrantPage 3 


(c)Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of Section 5(b), “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the “Determination Date”) shall determine as follows: 

(i)if the common stock is listed on any registered national securities exchange, its Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system on the day of determination, as reported by such exchange, The Wall Street Journal, or such other source as the Company deems reliable; 

(ii)if the common stock is not quoted on a registered national securities exchange but is regularly quoted in an inter-dealer quotation medium, but selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market Value of common stock shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the common stock on the day of determination, as reported by such inter-dealer quotation medium, The Wall Street Journal, or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or 

(iii)in the absence of an established market for the common stock of the Company, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board in accordance with generally accepted valuation principles consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). 

(d)For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was issued as set forth in Rule 144(3)(x). 

6.No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant.  Any fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole share. 

7.Manner of Exercise; Delivery of Shares

Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 2 WarrantPage 4 


than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

(b)Delivery of Shares.  

(i)If the Holder’s exercise is validly made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise as provided in Section 5(b), and such Cashless Exercise is made after the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and tacking of the holding period would be permitted under Rule 144, then within seven (7) business days following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice, the Company shall (x) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such Cashless Exercise to the Holder’s brokerage or balance account with DTC through its Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the Holder, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice,  an Account Statement if said Warrant Shares were issued per the Holder’s instruction via Book Entry, or a certificate, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, reflecting the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, register in the name of the Holder.  

(ii)If the Holder’s exercise was not made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise as provided in Section 5(b), or the Holder’s Cashless Exercise is made prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, or the tacking of the holding period would not be permitted under Rule 144, then within ten (10) business days following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, and the receipt of payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (if the Holder’s exercise was not made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise under Section 5(b)), the Company shall cause the transfer agent to issue and deliver to the Holder, at the Holder’s instruction pursuant to the Exercise Notice, (x) an Account Statement if said Warrant Shares were issued per the Holder’s instruction via Book Entry, or (y) a certificate, sent by reputable overnight courier to the address as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice, reflecting the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, register in the name of the Holder. 

(iii)Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case where an exercise of this Warrant is validly made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise as provided in Section (b)(i), the Company’s failure to deliver Warrant Shares to the Holder within ten (10) Business Days of the after the Company’s has received an  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 2 WarrantPage 5 


Exercise Notice and the Company’s receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Warrant.

(iv)Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s broker or DTC account, or the date of delivery of the certificates or Account Statement evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the transfer of shares to Consultant as promptly as is reasonably possible.   

(v)No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. 

(vi)If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 7 and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than ten (10) business days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder  a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 10 representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  

(c)Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. If  by the seventh (7th) business day after the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice complying with all the conditions of Section (b)(i), the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section (b)(i), and if after such firth business day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the common stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases common stock having a total purchase price of $11,000  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 2 WarrantPage 6 


to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(d)Obligations Absolute.  The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. 

8.Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof. 

9.Replacement of Warrant

(a)If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 2 WarrantPage 7 


Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

(b)Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 3, the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issue Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant. 

10.Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. 

11.Certain Adjustments; Distributions. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9. 

(a)Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination, or re-classification. 

(b)Right to Participate in Distributions.  Provided the Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice and paid the Aggregate Exercise Price (if the Holder’s exercise was not  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 2 WarrantPage 8 


made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise under Section 5(b), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s broker or DTC account, or the date of delivery of the certificates or Account Statement evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the extent of the number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon any such completed exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

(c)Transactions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, there is a Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Transaction if the Holder had been, immediately prior to such Transaction, the owner of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of the vested portion  of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Transaction. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Transaction. 

(d)Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 11, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. 

(e)Calculations. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 2 WarrantPage 9 


or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(f)Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 14, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent. 

(g)Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction (but only to the extent such disclosure would not result in the dissemination of material, non-public information to the Holder) at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. 

12.Representations and Warranties of the Company. This Warrant is issued and delivered by the Company and accepted by Holder in reliance on, in addition to the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Consulting Agreement, the following representations, and warranties of the Company: 

(a)The Company has all necessary authority to issue, execute and deliver this Warrant and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Warrant has been duly authorized issued, executed and delivered by the Company and is the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 

(b)At all times during the term of this Warrant, the Company shall timely take all necessary corporate actions to ensure that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be duly authorized and reserved for issuance by the Company upon exercise hereof and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 2 WarrantPage 10 


13.Representations and Warranties of the Holder. This Warrant is issued and delivered by the Company in reliance on, in addition to the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in the Consulting Agreement, the following representations, and warranties of the Holder: 

(a)Investment Purpose. This Warrant is being acquired by Holder, and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof will be acquired by Holder, for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Holder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration or exemption. 

(b)Accredited Investor. Holder is an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the 1933 Act (“Regulation D”). 

(c)Private Issue. The Holder understands (i) that the Warrant Shares are not registered under the 1933 Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant will be exempt from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 13. 

(d)Financial Risk. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and the Warrant Shares and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment. 

(e)No Need for Liquidity. The Holder is aware that he will be unable to liquidate his or her investment readily in case of an emergency and that the Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of this Warrant may have to be held for an indefinite period of time. The Holder’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Holder’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Warrant Shares will not cause such commitment to become excessive. In view of such facts, the Holder acknowledges that the Holder is able to bear the economic risk of this investment. 

(f)No Regulatory Approval of Merits. The Holder understands that neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor the commissioner or department of securities or attorney general of any state has passed upon the merits or qualifications of, nor recommended nor approved, the Warrant Shares. 

(g)Independent Advice. The Holder understands that the Holder is encouraged to seek independent advice from Holder’s professional advisors relating to the suitability for the Holder of an investment in the Company in view of the Holder’s overall financial needs and with respect to the legal and tax implications of such an investment. Holder has done its own investigation and is not relying upon any statements of the Company. 

(h)Opportunity to Investigate. Prior to the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder’s advisors and the Holder have had the opportunity to ask questions of, and  


Bakhu-Fourth & G - Tranche 2 WarrantPage 11 


receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction, and the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company. The Holder’s advisors and the Holder have also had the opportunity to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of information furnished about the Company. Accordingly, the Holder has independently evaluated the risks of purchasing the Warrant Shares, and the Holder is satisfied that the Holder has received information with respect to all matters which the Holder considers material to the Holder’s decision to make the investment in the Company and the Warrant Shares.

(i)Authority and Non-contravention. The execution and performance hereof violates no order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Holder is a party or by which the Holder is bound. If an organization, (i) the Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it has been formed; and (ii) the Holder has the right and power under its organizational instruments to execute, deliver and perform its obligations hereunder. 

14.Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Warrant shall be in writing delivered to the parties at the mailing address, or regularly monitored electronic email address of the respective party set forth below. Such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand; (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (with confirmation of delivery); or (c) if sent by e-mail of a PDF document, when the recipient, by an email sent to the email address for the sender stated in this section or by a notice delivered by another method in accordance with this section, acknowledges having received that email.
